Initial Public Offering
On September 11, 2024, the Group closed the initial public offering of
Reorganization
In anticipation of an initial public offering (“IPO”) of its equity securities, the Company undertook a reorganization (the “Reorganization”), which involved in following steps:
On July 3, 2023, the Company acquired
On July 4, 2023, QZT acquired

The consolidation of the Company and its subsidiaries has been accounted for at historical cost and prepared on the basis as if the Reorganization had become effective as of the beginning of the first period presented in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. Results of operations for the periods presented comprise those of the previously separate entities combined from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, eliminating the effects of intra-entity transactions.
| F-6 |
| 2. | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
| (a) | Basis of presentation and principles of consolidation |
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. All inter-company balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation. Certain information and footnote disclosures, which are normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP, have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations. The unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes thereto, included in the annual report on form 20-F for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In the opinion of the management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments, which are necessary for a fair statement of financial results for the interim periods presented. The Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the preparation of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
| (b) | Use of estimates |
The preparation of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date, and the reported revenue and expenses during the reported periods in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Accounting estimates reflected in the Group’s unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include, but not limited to, the allowance for receivable, the recoverability of long-lived assets and accounting for deferred income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets. Changes in facts and circumstances may result in revised estimates. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and as such, differences may be material to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
| (c) | Credit losses |
On January 1, 2023, the Group adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses” (Topic 326). Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” by using an aging schedule method in combination with current situation adjustment, which replaces the previous incurred loss impairment model. The expected credit loss impairment model requires the entity to recognize its estimate of expected credit losses for affected financial assets using an allowance for credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates.
The Group’s accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, and deposits, other receivables which are included prepaid expenses and other current assets line item in the balance sheet are within the scope of ASC Topic 326. The Group uses an aging schedule method in combination with current situation adjustment, to determine the loss rate of receivable balances and evaluate the expected credit losses on an individual basis. When establishing the loss rate, the Group makes the assessment based on various factors, including aging of receivable balances, historical experience, credit-worthiness of debtor, current economic conditions, reasonable and supportable forecasts of future economic, and other factors that may affect the Group’s ability to collect from the debtors. The Group also applies current situation adjustment to provide specific provisions for allowance when facts and circumstances indicate that the receivable is unlikely to be collected.
Expected credit losses are included in general and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. After all attempts to collect a receivable have failed, the receivable is written off against the allowance.
| F-7 |
| (d) | Accounts receivable, net |
Accounts receivable, net is stated at the original amount less an allowance for expected credit losses. Accounts receivable are recognized in the period when the Group has provided services to its customers and when its right to consideration is unconditional. Allowance for expected credit losses were $
| (e) | Share-based compensation |
The Group accounts for share-based compensation granted to non-employees and employees in accordance with ASC 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, as amended by ASU 2018-07. In accordance with ASC 718, the Group determines whether an award should be classified and accounted for as a liability award or equity award. All the Group’s grants of share-based awards were classified as equity awards and are measured at fair value on the grant date, which is generally based on the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on that date. The grant-date fair value is recognized as expense over the requisite service period on a straight-line basis, which varies by award and ranges from immediate vesting to ten years.
For awards that are issued upfront but subject to a requisite service period, the Group recognizes the grant-date fair value of the awards as compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as the related services are rendered, with a corresponding credit to additional paid-in capital.
| (f) | Long-term investment |
Long-term investment is the Group’s equity investment in privately held companies accounted for equity method.
Equity investment
The Group accounts for its investments in common stock or in-substance common stock in entities in which it can exercise significant influence but does not own a majority equity interest or control using the equity method in accordance with ASC 323-10, Investments-Equity Method and Joint Ventures: Overall unless the Group elects to account for the investment using the fair value option in accordance with ASC 825-10, Financial Instruments: Fair Value Option (“ASC 825”).
For equity method investments, the Group initially recognizes the investment at cost and subsequently adjusts the carrying amount for the Group’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses, dividends received, and other changes in the investee’s equity. The Group’s share of the investee’s earnings or losses is recognized in earnings in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss. Dividends received from equity method investees are recorded as a reduction of the carrying amount of the investment. The Group evaluates equity method investments for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable, and recognizes an impairment loss in earnings when the decline in value is determined to be other than temporary.
The Group has elected the fair value option when it initially recognizes an equity method investment as the Group determined the fair value of this investment better represents the value of the underlying assets. Such election is irrevocable and can be applied to financial assets on an individual basis at initial recognition. Any changes in fair value are recognized in fair value change of financial instruments in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss.
Equity investment with readily determinable fair value, except for those accounted for under the equity method, those that result in consolidation of the investee and certain other investments, are measured at fair value, and any changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. For equity securities without readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the existing practical expedient in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) to estimate fair value using the net asset value per share (or its equivalent) of the investment, the Group elected to use the measurement alternative to measure those investments at cost, less any impairment, plus or minus changes resulting from observable price changes in orderly transactions for identical or similar investments of the same issuer, if any.
| F-8 |
For equity investment measured at fair value with changes in fair value recorded in earnings, the Group does not assess whether those securities are impaired. For those equity investment that the Group elects to use the measurement alternative, the Group makes a qualitative assessment of whether the investment is impaired at each reporting date. If a qualitative assessment indicates that the investment is impaired, the entity has to estimate the investment’s fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820. If the fair value is less than the investment’s carrying value, the Group recognizes an impairment loss in earnings equal to the difference between the carrying value and fair value.
| (g) | Convertible notes |
The Group accounts for its convertible promissory notes in accordance with ASU 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging (Subtopic 815-40). Under this guidance, the Group no longer separates the liability and equity components of convertible instruments that do not require bifurcation under ASC 815. Instead, the entire convertible instrument is accounted for as a single liability, unless the fair value option under ASC 825-10 is elected or an embedded conversion feature requires separate accounting as a derivative.
The Group first evaluates whether to elect the fair value option under ASC 825-10. If the fair value option is not elected, the Group assesses whether the embedded conversion feature requires bifurcation under ASC 815. If bifurcation is not required and the instrument is not issued with a substantial premium, the convertible debt is accounted for as a single liability instrument under the traditional convertible debt model. Any debt discount or premium is amortized over the expected term of the instrument using the effective interest method and recognized as additional non-cash interest expenses.
| (h) | Derivative liability |
The Group evaluates its financial instruments including convertible notes to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815. The Group applies significant judgment to identify and evaluate terms and conditions in these contracts and agreements to determine whether embedded derivative exists. If all the requirements for bifurcation are met, embedded derivatives are separately measured from the host contract. Bifurcated embedded derivatives are initially recorded at fair value and then remeasure at each reporting period, with change in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations. Bifurcated embedded derivative are classified as separate liability in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group’s derivative liability related to the conversion feature embedded in the convertible notes payable. See note 14 for further details.
| (i) | Operating leases |
The Group adopted ASC 842 on January 1, 2021.
The adoption of Topic 842 resulted in the presentation of operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and operating lease liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Group has elected the package of practical expedients, which allows the Group not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing contracts as of the adoption date are or contain a lease; (2) lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date; and (3) initial direct costs for any expired or existing leases as of the adoption date. Lastly, the Group elected the short-term lease exemption for all contracts with lease terms of
Right-of-use assets represent the Group’s right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent the Group’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Right-of-use assets is recognized initially at cost, which primarily comprises the initial amount of the lease liability, plus any initial direct costs incurred, consisting mainly of brokerage commissions, less any lease incentives received. All right-of-use assets are reviewed for impairment. There was no impairment for right-of-use lease assets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of the remaining future minimum lease payments. As the interest rate implicit in the Group’s leases is not readily determinable, the Group utilizes its incremental borrowing rate, determined by class of underlying asset, to discount the lease payments.
| F-9 |
Some of the Group’s lease agreements contained renewal options; however, the Group did not recognize right-of-use assets or lease liabilities for renewal periods unless it was determined that the Group was reasonably certain of renewing the lease at inception or when a triggering event occurred. Lease expense for lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Group’s lease agreements did not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
The Group leases offices space under non-cancellable operating leases. The Group considers those renewal or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised in the determination of the lease term and initial measurement of right of use assets and lease liabilities.
The Group determines whether a contract is or contains a lease at inception of the contract and whether that lease meets the classification criteria of a finance or operating lease.
As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group had no long-term leases that were classified as a financing lease, and the Group’s lease contracts only contain fixed lease payments and do not contain any residual value guarantee.
The Group’s lease agreements do not contain any material residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
| (j) | Fair value measurement |
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
| ● | Level 1 — inputs to the valuation methodology are quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. |
| ● | Level 2 — inputs to the valuation methodology include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and inputs derived from or corroborated by observable market data. |
| ● | Level 3 — inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable. |
The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. In situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects management’s own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Those judgments are developed by management based on the best information available in the circumstances.
Financial assets and liabilities of the Group primarily consist of cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, other receivables, long-term investment, accounts payable, convertible notes payable, borrowings, amounts due to related parties, other payables. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, amounts due from related parties, other receivables, accounts payable, borrowings, amounts due to related parties, other payables, approximate their fair values because of their short-term nature.
The derivative liability component of the convertible notes is measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs. The debt component is initially recorded at its carrying value, which is the residual amount of the proceeds after allocating a portion to the derivative liability and other equity instruments (such as Pre-Delivery Shares). The debt component is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and its carrying value may not approximate its fair value due to the significant discount recorded at issuance.
| F-10 |
In accordance with ASC 820-10, the Group measures its long-term investment accounted for using the fair value option on a recurring basis, which are classified within Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.
The valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to measure the fair value of the long-term investment and the derivative liability are detailed in Note 7 and Note 14.
| (k) | Revenue recognition |
The Group recognized its revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”). The core principle underlying the revenue recognition of ASC606 allows the Group to recognize revenue that represents the transfer of goods and services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in such exchange. This will require the Group to identify contractual performance obligations and determine whether revenue should be recognized at a point in time or over time, based on when control of goods and services transfers to a customer.
To achieve that core principle, the Group applies five-step model to recognize revenue from customer contracts. The five-step model requires the Group to (i) identify the contract with the customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price, including variable consideration to the extent that it is probable that a significant future reversal will not occur; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the respective performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the Group satisfies the performance obligation.
The Group derives its revenues principally from providing IT customization service.
Revenue recognition policies for each type of revenue stream are as follows:
IT customization
The Group offers IT customization services in providing customer comprising tailored made IT solutions or the packaged software solutions in meeting the customer’s objectives. It covers end-to-end solutions including IT consultancy, design of the system architecture, planning and design of the solution, implementation, quality assurance as well as maintenance support services.
IT consulting
The Group provides a series of IT consulting service which is interrelated as one promise to develop customized software solutions.
The contract payment is made by the customers as agreed in the contract, and no variable consideration, significant financing component, or non-cash payment is identified in the arrangements for transaction price with the customers. The revenue is recognized at a point in time when the customized software solution is successfully completed, delivered and accepted by customers. There are no significant returns, refund and other similar obligations during each reporting period.
For contracts entered into during the six months ended June 30, 2026 regarding certain IT consulting arrangements that include post-delivery maintenance and software upgrade services, the Group considers these services to be a distinct performance obligation. These services represent an ongoing fulfillment activity that ensures the continuous performance of the software solutions throughout the contract term, rather than an assurance-type warranty. Accordingly, the transaction price allocated to the maintenance and upgrade services is recognized as revenue over time on a straight-line basis over the respective service period, as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group’s performance.
| F-11 |
Management software
The Group offers a range of management software solutions to customers via an annual subscription-based model, support services are generally included in the subscription. The Group also provides initial setup and training services to customers before their software subscription. The Group has identified that the nature of one overall promise to customers as the provision of a software solution comprising the one-year subscription of software in a cloud-based infrastructure hosted by the Group, well set-up and implemented with a session of training, which is needed to allow the customer to access the software functionality, and has accounted for the promise as one combined performance obligation.
The customer simultaneously received and consumed the benefits provided by the Group during the contract period. Thus, revenue from management software is recognized over time on a ratable basis over one year, starting from the date that the software is made available to the customers.
The contract payment is made by the customers in advance, and not subject to any variable consideration, refund, cancellation or termination provision. No significant financing component, noncash payment identified in the arrangements with customers.
Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform services
The Group also generates revenue from selling event tickets and merchant vouchers on its “Tridentity” app, which is powered by a proprietary blockchain-based identity solution. By providing highly secure, single sign-on authentication, Tridentity serves as the foundational digital infrastructure to support all current and future commerce transactions and services hosted on the platform.
For ticket sales, the Group acts as an agent and recognizes revenue on a net basis at a point in time when the delivery of the ticket is in place. The Group’s performance obligation is to transfer control of an event ticket on behalf of merchants to a ticket buyer once an order has been confirmed. The Group does not obtain control of the tickets prior to their transfer, is not primarily responsible for fulfilling the underlying event services, and does not bear any inventory risk.
For voucher sales, the Group acts as a principal and recognizes revenue on a gross basis as it obtains control of the vouchers and assumes substantive inventory risk through fixed-quantity buyout agreements with merchants prior to transfer. Revenue is recognized at a point in time when the vouchers are actually redeemed by the end users and the underlying goods or services are provided.

Contract balances
When the Group begins to deliver the products or services pursuant to the performance obligations in the contract, the Group presents the contract in the consolidated balance sheet as a contract asset or a contract liability, depending on the relationship between the Group’s performance and the customer’s payment.
The contract assets represent contract costs, which are deferred for the contract preparation and will be recognized as cost of revenues when goods or services are transferred to customers. The Group recognized incremental commission costs of obtaining management software contracts with customers and incurred costs to fulfill service contract before service is provided to a customer as contract asset and amortized to cost in a pattern that matches the timing of the revenue recognition of the related contract. The Group’s contract assets were $
The contract liabilities consist of deferred revenue, which represents the billings or cash received for services in advance of revenue recognition and is recognized as revenue when all the Group’s revenue recognition criteria are met. Contract assets and contract liabilities are reported in a net position on an individual contract basis at the end of each reporting period. The Group’s deferred revenue was $
Other than contract costs and deferred revenue, the Group had no other material contract assets or contract liabilities recorded on its unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025.
| (l) | General and administrative expenses |
General and administrative expenses mainly comprised of share-based compensation expenses, payroll expenses, professional service expenses, rent and utilities expenses, travelling expenses, IPO bonus and other expenses related to general corporate functions.
| (m) | Research and development expenses |
Research and development expenses mainly comprised of system development expenses, payroll expenses, technical support and maintenance expenses.
| F-13 |
| (n) | Income taxes |
The Group accounts for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When the Group determines and quantifies the valuation allowances, it considers such factors as projected future taxable income, the availability of tax planning strategies, the historical taxable income/losses in prior years, and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The assumptions used in determining projected future taxable income require significant judgment. Actual operating results in future years could differ from current assumptions, judgments and estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may materially affect the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. If, in the future, the Group determines that it would not be able to realize the recorded deferred tax assets, an increase in the valuation allowance would decrease earnings in the period in which such determination is made. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Group’s deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances of $
The provisions of ASC 740-10-25, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes,” prescribe a more-likely-than-not threshold for consolidated financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken (or expected to be taken) in a tax return. This interpretation also provides guidance on the recognition of income tax assets and liabilities, classification of current and deferred income tax assets and liabilities, accounting for interest and penalties associated with tax positions, and related disclosures.
The Group did not accrue any liability, interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in its provision for income taxes line of its consolidated statements of operations for six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The Group will recognize interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits on the income tax expense line in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Accrued interest and penalties will be included on the related tax liability line in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Group does not expect that its assessment regarding unrecognized tax positions will materially change over the next 12 months.
| (o) | Foreign currency transactions and translations |
Transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated into the functional currency using the applicable exchange rates at the balance sheet dates. The resulting exchange differences are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.
The reporting currency of the Group is United States Dollars (“US$”) and the accompanying financial statements have been expressed in US$. The Group’s subsidiaries in Singapore conduct their businesses and maintain its books and record in the local currency, Singapore Dollars (“SGD”), as their functional currency.
| F-14 |
In general, for consolidation purposes, assets and liabilities of its subsidiaries whose functional currency is not US$ are translated into US$, in accordance with ASC Topic 830-30, “Translation of Financial Statement”, using the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates prevailing during the period. The gains and losses resulting from translation of financial statements of foreign subsidiary are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within the statements of changes in equity (deficit). Cash flows are also translated at average translation rates for the periods; therefore, amounts reported on the statement of cash flows will not necessarily agree with changes in the corresponding balances on the consolidated balance sheets.

| (p) | Loss per share |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, taking into consideration the deemed dividends to preferred shareholders (if any), by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year using the two-class method. Under the two-class method, net loss is allocated between ordinary shares and other participating securities based on their participating rights. Shares issuable for little to no consideration upon the satisfaction of certain conditions are considered as outstanding shares and included in the computation of basic loss per share as of the date that all necessary conditions have been satisfied. Net loss are not allocated to other participating securities if based on their contractual terms they are not obligated to share the losses.
Diluted loss per share is calculated by dividing net loss attributable to ordinary shareholders, as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the year. Ordinary equivalent shares are not included in the denominator of the diluted loss per share calculation when inclusion of such share would be anti-dilutive. Given the mandatory return obligation for a nominal fee, the Pre-Delivery Shares related to the issuance of the Convertible Notes function as a share-lending arrangement and do not represent outstanding ordinary shares. Therefore, the Pre-Delivery Shares are excluded from the computation of both basic and diluted loss per share.
In addition, the Convertible Notes represent potential ordinary shares. However, because the Company reported a net loss, the assumed conversion of the Convertible Notes was anti-dilutive and thus excluded from the calculation of diluted loss per share for the six months ended June 30, 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, there was no dilutive impact.
| (q) | Segment reporting |
Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Group’s CODM is the .
In November 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures, which expands public entities’ segment disclosures, among others, requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the CODM and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss; an amount and description of its composition for other segment items; and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. This new guidance was effective beginning on this annual report for the year ended December 31, 2024, and applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. The impact of the adoption of this guidance was not material to the financial position or results of operations, as the requirements impact only segment reporting disclosures in the notes to financial statements.
| F-15 |
The Group does not distinguish between markets or segments for the purpose of internal reporting. As all of the Group’s revenues were generated from customers in SG and all of the Group’s long-lived assets are located in the SG, no geographical segments are presented. The CODM makes decisions on resource allocation, evaluates operating performance, and monitors budget versus actual results using net loss. There are no reconciling items or adjustments between segment loss and net loss as presented in our statements of operations. The CODM does not review assets in evaluating the segment results and therefore such information is not presented.
| (r) | Commitments and contingencies |
Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, and penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If a potential material loss contingency is not probable but is reasonably possible, or is probable but cannot be estimated, then the nature of the contingent liability, together with an estimate of the range of possible loss if determinable and material, is disclosed. Legal costs incurred in connection with loss contingencies are expensed as incurred.
| (s) | Recent adopted accounting standards |
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The intent of ASU 2023-09 is to improve the disclosures around a company’s rate reconciliation information and certain types of income taxes companies are required to pay. Specifically, these new disclosure requirements will provide more transparency regarding income taxes companies pay in the United States and other countries, along with more disclosure around a company’s rate reconciliation, among other new disclosure requirements, such that users of financial statements can get better information about how the operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities of companies affect their effective tax rates and future cash flow prospects. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entity for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for annual period beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments under ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. As an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the JOBS Act, the Group intends to use the extended transition period available to non-public business entities and has not early adopted ASU 2023-09. The Group adopted ASU No. 2023-09 from the period beginning from January 1, 2026, which resulted in changes in income tax related disclosures. Refer to Note 10 taxation for further information.
| (t) | Recent accounting pronouncements |
The Group is an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the Jumpstart Our Business Startups Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”). Under the JOBS Act, EGC can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Group does not opt out of extended transition period for complying with any new or revised financial accounting standards. Therefore, the Group’s financial statements may not be comparable to companies that comply with public company effective dates.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on its unaudited condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
| F-16 |
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05 “Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) — Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets”. It applies to entities that use the practical expedient and accounting policy election (if applicable) when estimating expected credit losses on current accounts receivable and/or current contract assets from transactions under Topic 606, including such assets acquired in a business combination accounted for under Topic 805. The amendments will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group does not expect to adopt this guidance early and does not expect the adoption of this ASU to have a material impact on its future consolidated financial statements.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities (“ASU 2025-10”). The amendments establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. ASU 2025-10 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-10.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Improvements to Interim Disclosure Requirements (“ASU 2025-11”). The amendments clarify disclosure requirements for interim financial statements. ASU 2025-11 is effective for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2026. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact of adopting ASU 2025-11.
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-12, “Codification Improvements.” The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify the Codification or correct unintended application of guidance and apply to all reporting entities within the scope of the affected accounting guidance. These amendments are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Group is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2025-12 will have on its future consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
| 3. | LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN |
In accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40)”, the Group has evaluated whether there are conditions and events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are issued. The Group incurred net loss of $
The Group has funded its operations from both operational sources of cash and equity and debt financing. The Group’s liquidity is based on its ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds from financial institutions. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern is dependent on management’s ability to successfully execute its business plan, which includes generating revenue while controlling operating cost to generate positive operating cash flows and obtaining funds from outside sources of financing to generate positive financing cash flows. As of June 30, 2026, the Group had cash of $
| F-17 |
Considering the current financial factors raise doubt about the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, management has made mitigation plan to alleviate liquidity pressure, including:
| i) | On April 13, 2026, Mr. Soon Huat Lim, provided a financial support letter to the Group, pursuant to which he committed to provide sufficient funds with no limit to meet the Group’s other liabilities and commitments as they become due for at least twelve months from the issuance of this letter, to support the Group’s normal operation. If needed, Mr. Soon Huat Lim will sell or pledge the direct and indirect shares on the Company to provide such financial support when necessary. On June 30, 2026, the Company entered into a share subscription agreement with Mr. Soon Huat Lim, the ultimate controller of the Group, pursuant to which Mr. Soon Huat Lim agreed to convert approximately US$ |
| ii) | On September 8, 2026, the Company entered into a securities purchase agreement with certain non-U.S. investors (the “Purchasers”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Purchasers an aggregate of | |
| iii) | On September 29, 2026, the Company completed a registered direct offering, issuing | |
| iv) | The Group would make continuous efforts to improve operating efficiency, standardize operations to reduce discretionary spending, enhance cost controls, and create synergy of allocated resources. |
The Group believes the financial support from the ultimate controller of the Group, private financing and the new business may help to alleviate liquidity pressure.
Accordingly, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis the Group will be able to continue as a going concern for a period of one year after the issuance of the consolidated financial statements. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments related to the recoverability or classification of asset and the amounts or classification of liabilities that may result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Fair value measurement of investment in Tongxin
The Group’s investment in Tongxin is accounted for using fair value option on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs(Level 3) for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The fair value as of June 30, 2026 was determined using the income approach, specifically the discounted cash flow (“DCF”) method. This method involves estimating the future net cash flows of Tongxin and discounting them to their present value using an appropriate risk-adjusted discount rate.

August 2025 Convertible Notes
On August 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Streeterville Capital, LLC. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $
November 2025 Convertible Notes
On November 17, 2025, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with Viner Total Investments Fund. Pursuant to the agreement, the Company issued a Convertible Promissory Note in the principal amount of $
Key Terms of the Convertible Notes:
The key terms of the August 2025 and November 2025 Convertible Note are substantially identical and include the following key provisions:
| (i) | Maturity, Interest, and Security: The notes are unsecured and mature 12 months after the purchase price date. They bear a simple interest rate of |
| (ii) | Conversion Mechanics: The holders have the right to convert all or any portion of the outstanding balance into American Depositary Shares (ADSs) at a Conversion Price equal to the Market Price less $ |
| (iii) | Floor Price and Cash Settlement: Conversions are subject to a Floor Price of $ |
| (iv) | Prepayment Option: So long as no Event of Default has occurred, the Company may prepay the outstanding balance of the notes with |
| (v) | Default Penalties (Trigger Events): The notes contain specific “Trigger Events” (e.g., failure to pay, failure to maintain an effective registration statement, bankruptcy). Upon a Major Trigger Event, the outstanding balance of the note is automatically multiplied by |
| (vi) | Investor Limitations: The notes are subject to a strict |
| F-27 |
As Pre-Delivery Shares can be separately exercised, i.e. each can continue to exist unchanged when the other is exercised; the Company concluded that they were freestanding. The Pre-Delivery Shares are considered a form of stock borrowing facility and are accounted for as own-share lending arrangement. The Company did not receive any proceeds or pay any consideration related to the Pre-Delivery Shares, except that the Company received a one-time nominal fee upon the issuance of the Pre-Delivery Shares and will pay the same amount to the investors upon the return of Pre-Delivery Shares. Although legally issued, the Pre-Delivery Shares were not considered outstanding and therefore excluded from basic and diluted loss per share unless default of the share lending arrangement occurs, at which time the Pre-Delivery Shares would be included in the basic and diluted loss per share calculation.
The Company has identified and evaluated the embedded conversion features of the notes in accordance with ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging. Because the conversion price is subject to adjustment based on future market prices, the conversion features are not considered indexed to the Company’s own stock. Consequently, the embedded conversion features were bifurcated from the host debt and accounted for as separate derivative liabilities. The derivative liabilities were initially measured at their standalone fair values on the respective issuance dates and are subsequently remeasured at fair value at each reporting date, with changes in fair value recognized in the consolidated statements of operations.
Because the sum of the standalone fair values of the bifurcated derivative liabilities, the Pre-Delivery Shares (share-lending arrangement), and the host debt exceeded the net proceeds received, the Company allocated the initial proceeds using a relative fair value methodology. Specifically, the derivative liability was first recorded at its full standalone fair value. The remaining net proceeds were then allocated between the Pre-Delivery Shares and the host debt based on their relative standalone fair values.
The allocated fair value of the Pre-Delivery Shares represents an incremental borrowing cost and was recognized as a debt issuance cost, with a corresponding credit to Additional Paid-In Capital (APIC) representing the obligation to issue/return the shares. The Convertible Notes (host debt) are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at amortized cost, net of the original issue discount, transaction costs, the standalone fair value of the bifurcated derivative liabilities, and the allocated Pre-Delivery Share issuance costs. These combined discounts and issuance costs are amortized to interest expenses over the 12-month term of the notes using the effective interest method, alongside the accrued
Conversion events:
During the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company effected two conversions of the August 2025 Convertible Notes as follows:

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Group to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Group conducts credit evaluations of its customers, and generally does not require collateral or other security from them. The Group evaluates its collection experience and long outstanding balances to determine the need for an allowance for credit losses. The Group conducts periodic reviews of the financial condition and payment practices of its customers to minimize collection risk on accounts receivable.

Exhibit 99.2
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon and should be read in conjunction with the unaudited financial results and statements of Trident Digital Tech Holdings Ltd (the “Company,” “we,” “our,” or “us”) for the six months ended June 30, 2026, furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Business Overview
We are a Singapore-headquartered digital infrastructure holding company that builds and operates technology platforms in emerging markets. Our market entry strategy centers on digital identity infrastructure from which we expand into government technology, artificial intelligence (“AI”), cybersecurity, digital commerce, agritech and transaction-driven services. In 2025, we undertook a strategic transition from a business consulting and IT customization-led model to our proprietary Web 3.0 and blockchain-enabled platform, Tridentity, which is the identity layer for the platforms described below.
Historically, we derived a majority of our revenues from business consulting and IT customization services provided primarily to SMEs in Singapore. In 2025, we discontinued our business consulting services and significantly scaled back our IT customization operations to focus resources on our Web 3.0 activation and digital identity solutions and services. Tridentity, launched in December 2023, is a blockchain-based identity solution that provides secure single sign-on authentication to integrated third-party systems.
In May 2026, we reorganized as a multi-vertical holding company with five pillars: Tridentity Infrastructure Group (national digital identity infrastructure); TDTH Cybersecurity Group; TDTH AI & Intelligent Systems Group; TDTH Africa (government technology, digital commerce and transaction infrastructure partnerships in African markets); and TDTH Agritech (technology-enabled agricultural infrastructure). Our active initiatives under the first four pillars are described below, while TDTH Agritech remains in its early planning and strategic development phase.
Tridentity Infrastructure Group
We develop and operate national digital identity infrastructure for countries in emerging markets including Africa. Built on Tridentity, the infrastructure issues citizens a digital credential for identity verification and access to government, financial, telecommunications, healthcare and education services. Deployment proceeds through phased national rollout and citizen enrollment, and we have initiated technical integration with telecommunications operators, financial institutions and public service portals. We are remunerated through a share of platform operating revenues, comprising e-KYC verification fees, institutional subscriptions and administrative transaction fees, with revenue-sharing terms to be determined under the relevant partnership agreements and implementing regulations.
TDTH Africa
In December 2025, we established Trident Aliska Digital Tech Ghana Ltd (“Trident Aliska”), a 50/50 joint venture with Aliska Business Advisory and Research Limited (“Aliska”) and announced the definitive joint venture arrangements in April 2026. We are responsible for technology development, platform engineering and technical system management; while Aliska is responsible for project research, design, government approvals and permits, and project funding. In April 2026, Trident Aliska signed an agreement with the Ghana Revenue Authority (the “GRA”) to deploy a digital tax platform for micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (“MSMEs”), with nationwide deployment announced for June 2026. The platform, branded Sikaflow, combines digital commerce, business management, tax automation, financial record creation and financial services enablement in a single platform accessible through Android, iOS, web, POS terminals and USSD. Trident Aliska earns a contractual commission on taxes collected and remitted through the platform, a share of point-of-sale device leasing and transaction processing fees, and fees from adjacent services including business registration, annual renewals, insurance distribution and pension administration.
TDTH Cybersecurity Group
In April 2026, our Singapore subsidiary, Trident Digital Tech Pte. Ltd., entered into a reseller agreement with Memcyco Inc. (“Memcyco”), a U.S.-based provider of real-time digital impersonation, phishing and account-takeover prevention software, under which we distribute Memcyco’s products to enterprise and government customers in the Asia-Pacific region.
TDTH AI & Intelligent Systems Group
In May 2026, we entered into a binding letter of intent with Digital Innovations Group, Inc. (“DIG”), a U.S. company that owns the IRMA AI Engine, an enterprise AI platform for marketing automation, customer engagement, workflow automation, analytics and decision support. In June 2026, we launched TDTHAI, our enterprise AI initiative, in the Asia-Pacific region and Africa. On June 30, 2026, we entered into an agreement to make a strategic equity investment in DIG, as described under “Recent Developments” below. In August 2026, we executed a joint venture agreement with DIG to establish IRMA Asia Pte. Ltd. (“IRMA Asia”), a Singapore-based 50/50 joint venture to commercialize the IRMA Engine as IRMA Engine Asia across Asia, the Middle East and Africa. DIG licenses the IRMA technology and retains ownership of the underlying intellectual property. Our initial target markets are Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Middle East and Africa.
Recent Developments
On June 30, 2026, we entered into an exchange agreement with DIG to acquire 990,000 shares of DIG common shares, representing approximately 9.9% of DIG’s outstanding common shares, in exchange for Class B ordinary shares with a total value of US$2,000,000. The agreement provided for the closing of the transaction to occur on July 17, 2026, subject to the satisfaction of the conditions precedent set forth therein. The Class B ordinary shares are issuable in four quarterly tranches of US$500,000 each, with the number of shares in each tranche determined by reference to the five-day volume-weighted average price of our Class B ordinary shares on Nasdaq immediately preceding each applicable issuance date.
On June 30, 2026, we entered into a share subscription agreement with Mr. Soon Huat Lim, our founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Lim agreed to convert approximately US$8.0 million of outstanding indebtedness owed by us to him into 901,408,450 restricted Class B ordinary shares (on a pre-Share Consolidation (as defined below) basis), at a conversion price of US$0.008875 per share, determined based on the closing price of our ADSs on June 18, 2026.
On July 16, 2026, the Company terminated its American depositary receipt program and effected a mandatory exchange of all outstanding ADSs for the underlying Class B ordinary shares. In connection with the termination, the Company effected a 240-for-1 share consolidation of its ordinary shares. Following the share consolidation, each ADS was automatically cancelled and exchanged for one Class B ordinary share, par value US$0.0024 per share. The Class B ordinary shares are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market under the symbol “TDTH.”
In September 2026, we completed two equity financings, issuing an aggregate of 50,000,000 Class B ordinary shares for total gross proceeds of US$23.0 million, as described under “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.
Key Factors Affecting Our Results of Operations
We believe the growth and future success of our business depend on many factors. While these factors present significant opportunities for our business, they also pose important challenges we must successfully address to sustain our growth.
Expanding our solutions and services
We may continue to expend resources in the development of offerings across our five strategic pillars described above. Our ability to successfully develop and monetize new services and features may depend on a number of factors, including the availability of capital to invest in innovation, the effectiveness of our marketing efforts, competition, pricing, and our clients’ satisfaction and spending.
2
Acquiring new clients
Sustaining continued revenue growth relies on the adoption of our solutions by new clients. We will continue to invest in our solutions and introduce new services and features. We plan to continue winning new clients by investing in our salesforce, improving the awareness of our brands and solutions, and building new partnerships and integrations.
Expanding into new verticals and new markets
We intend to expand into new verticals and sub-verticals with a particular focus on those with low digital adoption and growing usage of software solutions. We believe there is a significant need for our solutions and services on a global basis and, accordingly, opportunity for us to grow our business through further international expansion. We think these verticals and markets provide an attractive opportunity to introduce our solutions and services and drive adoption.
Continued investment in innovation and growth
We have made substantial investments in research and development and sales and marketing to achieve a leadership position in our market and grow our revenues and client base. We intend to continue to invest in research and development to build new capabilities and maintain the core technology underpinning our solutions and services. In addition, we expect to increase investment in sales and marketing to broaden our reach with new clients at home and abroad and deepen our penetration with existing clients. We are in the process of increasing our general and administrative spending to support our growing operations and operate as a public company. With our revenue growth objectives, we expect to continue to make such investments for the foreseeable future.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Revenues
Historically, we derive revenues principally from providing business consulting services and IT customization services. The services we provide are essentially similar in terms of the nature of such services, the type of customers served, the delivery methods and the nature of the regulatory environment.
In 2025, we substantially scaled back these legacy operations. We discontinued our business consulting services, scaled back our IT customization operations to focus resources on our Web 3.0 activation and digital identity solutions and services.
While Tridentity has begun to generate revenue with notable period-over-period growth, its current revenue scale remains limited, as commercial deployment only commenced during the period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, we generated revenues of approximately US$0.38 million and US$0.04 million, respectively. Revenues from IT customization services and ticket sales accounted for 99.2% and 0.8% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2026, respectively, and for 60.4% and 39.6% of our total revenues for the six months ended June 30, 2025, respectively. We incurred a net loss of approximately US$12.73 million and US$11.27 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively.

Cost of Revenues

Our revenues increased by 950% from US$0.04 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025, to US$0.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase in revenue was primarily attributable to higher IT customization revenue driven by the addition of a new digitalization service. The service involves providing digitalization support for the planning and development of a mobile and/or web-based application. IT customization revenue increased from US$0.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. At the same time, we continued to allocate more resources to the Tridentity platform, digital identity system and MSME digital formalization platform, which our management views as the core growth areas for its long-term strategy in the future. This realignment allows us to concentrate on expanding our presence in Tridentity, positioning us to capture new opportunities in a rapidly advancing digital ecosystem.

Our cost of revenues increased by 45.5% from US$18,969 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$27,592 for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to an increase in direct labor costs from US$14,246 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$20,899 for the six months ended June 30, 2026 as a result of the increase in IT consulting projects, and the increase in service fee costs of US$1,665 in line with the increase in revenues.
Gross profit and margin
As a result of the factors described above, we recorded a gross profit of US$0.36 million and US$0.02 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, representing gross profit margin of 92.8% and 48.2%, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was primarily due to the addition of a new digitalization service. Revenue from this service increased significantly in the first half of 2026, while the related cost of revenues increased only modestly, as the underlying research and development was completed in prior periods and the service is primarily delivered using the completed platform with limited incremental labor cost.
Operating expenses
Selling and marketing expenses
Our selling and marketing expenses decreased from US$0.38 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.22 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The decrease was primarily due to lower spending on marketing and advertising driven by cost reduction efforts.
General and administrative expenses
Our general and administrative expenses increased from US$10.52 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$11.45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026. The increase was primarily due to (i) a US$0.53 million increase in share-based compensation expenses, and (ii) a US$0.40 million increase in professional service fees related to corporate positioning and development consulting services.
Research and development expenses
Our research and development expenses increased from US$0.45 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to US$0.70 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to an increase in wages and salaries for Sikaflow research and development in Ghana.
Other (expenses)/income, net
Other (expenses)/income, net mainly consists of (i) gains on fair value change of long-term investment and derivative liability, (ii) interest expenses, (iii) share of loss from equity method investment, and (iv) government subsidies. Our other (expenses)/income, net changed from income of US$0.06 million for the six months ended June 30, 2025 to loss of US$0.80 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026, primarily due to (i) US$2.03 million increase in interest expenses primarily resulting from convertible note, borrowings from bank and other financial institution, (ii) US$0.32 million increase in share of loss from equity method investment, partially offset by US$1.51 million gain from fair value change of derivative liability.
6
Net loss
As a result of the foregoing, we incurred a net loss of US$12.73 million in the first half of 2026 and US$11.27 million in the first half of 2025, respectively.
Taxation
Cayman Islands
The Cayman Islands currently levies no taxes on individuals or corporations based upon profits, income, gains, or appreciation, and there is no taxation in the nature of inheritance tax or estate duty. There are no other taxes likely to be material to us levied by the government of the Cayman Islands except for stamp duties, which may be applicable on instruments executed in, or brought within the jurisdiction of, the Cayman Islands. In addition, the Cayman Islands does not impose withholding tax on dividend payments.
Singapore
Our subsidiaries incorporated in Singapore are subject to the prevailing Singapore Corporate Tax of 17%. With effect from the year of assessment 2020, other than certain new start-up companies, 75% of up to the first S$10,000, and 50% of up to the next S$190,000 of a company’s chargeable income (otherwise subject to normal taxation) is exempt from corporate tax. The remaining chargeable income that exceeds S$200,000 will be fully taxable at the prevailing corporate tax rate.
DRC
Trident Digital Tech (DRC) Africa Sas (“Trident DRC”) is incorporated in the Democratic Republic of Congo and is subject to a statutory corporate income tax rate of 30% on its taxable income.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which are prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP, we use the following non-GAAP financial measure to understand and evaluate our core operating performance: adjusted EBITDA, which is calculated as net loss excluding interest expense, net, income tax (benefit) expense, depreciation and amortization expenses, share-based compensation expense, share of loss from equity method investment and gains on fair value change. The non-GAAP financial measure is presented to enhance investors’ overall understanding of our financial performance and should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Investors are encouraged to review the reconciliation of the historical non-GAAP financial measure to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure. As non-GAAP financial measure has material limitations as an analytical metric and may not be calculated in the same manner by all companies, it may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures used by other companies. In light of the foregoing limitations, you should not consider non-GAAP financial measure as a substitute for, or superior to, such metrics prepared in accordance with GAAP. We encourage investors and others to review our financial information in its entirety and not rely on any single financial measure.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from our operating activities, capital contributions from shareholders and loans from banks. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, we had cash of US$0.08 million and US$0.15 million, and total working capital deficit of US$5.98 million and US$4.77 million, respectively.
We incurred net loss of US$12.73 million in the first half of 2026 and US$11.27 million in the first half of 2025, respectively. Net cash used in operating activities were US$4.88 million and US$3.65 million for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. Accumulated deficits were US$49.79 million as of June 30, 2026.
Our liquidity is based on our ability to generate cash from operating activities, obtain capital financing from equity interest investors and borrow funds from financial institutions. Our future capital requirements depend on many factors including our growth rate, the continuing market acceptance of our offerings, the timing and extent of spending to support our efforts to develop our platform, the expansion of sales and marketing activities, and the expansion and penetration of our business into different geographies and markets. To enhance our liquidity position or increase our cash reserve for future investments or operations through additional financing activities, we may in the future seek equity financing or obtain credit facilities. The issue of additional equity securities, including convertible debt securities, would result in further dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased fixed obligations and could result in operating covenants that would restrict our operations. There can be no assurances, however, that the current operating plan will be achieved or that additional funding will be available on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain sufficient funding, we could be required to delay our development efforts and limit activities, which could adversely affect our business and the consolidated financial statements.
8
Subsequent to June 30, 2026, we completed a registered direct offering on September 29, 2026, issuing 30,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at US$0.50 per share and raising gross proceeds of US$15.0 million. In addition, on September 8, 2026, we completed a private placement to certain non-U.S. investors, issuing 20,000,000 Class B ordinary shares at US$0.40 per share and raising gross proceeds of US$8.0 million. Together, these financings raised approximately US$23.0 million in September 2026, compared to cash of only US$0.08 million as of June 30, 2026, and significantly improved our liquidity position and its ability to continue as a going concern. See Note 3 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for further details.
Note 3 to the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements discloses all of the matters of which we are aware that are relevant to our ability to continue as a going concern for a reasonable period of time (defined as the time within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, or available to be issued, where applicable), including significant conditions and events, and management’s plans to mitigate the adverse effects of such conditions and events. There is no approved plan for liquidation and liquidation is not being forced by any other party. As such, we believe that the going concern basis of accounting is appropriate.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We did not have during the periods presented, and we do not currently have, any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or any relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including entities sometimes referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, that were established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Commitments and Contingencies
From time to time, we may be subject to certain legal proceedings, claims and disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. Although the outcomes of these legal proceedings cannot be predicted, we do not believe these actions, in the aggregate, will have a material adverse impact on our financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
Seasonality
The nature of our business does not appear to be affected by seasonal variations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Management Estimates
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires us to make judgments, estimates and assumptions. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations would be affected. We base our estimates and assumptions on our own historical data and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable after taking account of our circumstances and expectations for the future based on available information. We evaluate these estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis.
11
Our expectations regarding the future are based on available information and assumptions that we believe to be reasonable and accurate, which together form our basis for making judgments about matters that are not readily apparent from other sources. Since the use of estimates is an integral component of the financial reporting process, our actual results could differ from those estimates. Some of our accounting policies require a higher degree of judgment than others in their application.
The critical accounting policies, judgments and estimates that we believe to have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are described below, which should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes and other disclosures included in this report. When reviewing our financial statements, you should consider:
| (1) | our selection of critical accounting policies; |
| (2) | the judgments and other uncertainties affecting the application of such policies; |
| (3) | the sensitivity of reported results to changes in conditions and assumptions; |
Our critical accounting policies and practices include the following: (i) credit losses; (ii) revenue recognition; and (iii) income taxes. See Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of these accounting policies. We believe the following accounting estimates involve the most significant judgments used in the preparation of our financial statements.
We consider an accounting estimate to be critical if: (i) the accounting estimate requires us to make assumptions about matters that were highly uncertain at the time the accounting estimate was made, and (ii) changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur from period to period or use of different estimates that we reasonably could have used in the current period, would have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations. We consider our critical accounting estimates include valuation allowance of deferred tax assets, fair value of long-term investment and derivative liability.
Fair value measurements of financial instruments
We measure certain financial instruments at fair value on a recurring basis. For long-term investment accounted for using fair value option and derivative liability, we estimate their fair value on each reporting date. We estimate the financial instruments’ fair value in accordance with the principles of ASC 820 and recognize the fair value change in the consolidated statements of comprehensive loss accordingly. These judgments include valuation methods and key valuation assumptions and estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of such financial instruments. See Note 7 and Note 14 of the Notes to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information regarding method and key assumptions used for fair value measurements of such financial instruments.
12
Valuation of deferred tax assets
We account for income taxes under ASC 740. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the consolidated financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period including the enactment date. Valuation allowances are established, when necessary, to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount expected to be realized. Current income taxes are provided for in accordance with the laws of the relevant taxing authorities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities, and for operating losses and tax credit carry forwards. A valuation allowance is recorded when it is more likely than not that some of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. When we determine and quantify the valuation allowances, we consider such factors as projected future taxable income, the availability of tax planning strategies, the historical taxable income/losses in prior years, and future reversals of existing taxable temporary differences. The assumptions used in determining projected future taxable income require significant judgment. Actual operating results in future years could differ from our current assumptions, judgments and estimates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions may materially affect the tax position measurement and financial statement recognition. If, in the future, we determine that we will not be able to realize our recorded deferred tax assets, an increase in the valuation allowance would decrease our earnings in the period in which such determination is made. As of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, the Company’s deferred tax assets, net of valuation allowances of US$5.99 million and US$5.23 million, were US$0.55 million and US$0.77 million, respectively. After offsetting deferred tax liabilities of US$0.37 million and US$0.68 million, respectively, the net deferred tax assets recognized on the consolidated balance sheets were US$0.17 million and US$0.09 million as of June 30, 2026 and December 31, 2025, respectively.
Recent Accounting Standards
We are an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) as defined in the JOBS Act. An EGC may take advantage of specified reduced reporting and other requirements compared to those that are otherwise applicable generally to public companies. These provisions include exemption from the auditor attestation requirement under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 in the assessment of the emerging growth company’s internal control over financial reporting. The JOBS Act also provides that an EGC does not need to comply with any new or revised accounting standards issued subsequent to the enactment of the JOBS Act until such date that a private company is otherwise required to comply with such new or revised accounting standards. Pursuant to the JOBS Act, we have elected to take advantage of the benefits of this extended transition period for complying with new or revised accounting standards. As a result, our operating results and financial statements may not be comparable to the operating results and financial statements of other companies who have adopted the new or revised accounting standards.
13
Recent adopted accounting standard
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU No. 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures (“ASU 2023-09”). The intent of ASU 2023-09 is to improve the disclosures around a company’s rate reconciliation information and certain types of income taxes companies are required to pay. Specifically, these new disclosure requirements will provide more transparency regarding income taxes companies pay in the United States and other countries, along with more disclosure around a company’s rate reconciliation, among other new disclosure requirements, such that users of financial statements can get better information about how the operations, related tax risks, tax planning and operational opportunities of companies affect their effective tax rates and future cash flow prospects. ASU 2023-09 is effective for public business entity for annual fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and for all other entities for annual period beginning after December 15, 2025. Early adoption permitted for annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The amendments under ASU 2023-09 should be applied on a prospective basis, although retrospective application is permitted. As an emerging growth company (“EGC”) under the JOBS Act, the Group intends to use the extended transition period available to non-public business entities and has not early adopted ASU 2023-09. We adopted ASU No. 2023-09 from the period beginning from January 1, 2026, which resulted in changes in income tax related disclosures. Refer to Note 10 taxation for further information.
Recent accounting pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (“ASU 2024-03”), and in January 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-01, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date (“ASU 2025-01”). ASU 2024-03 requires additional disclosure of the nature of expenses included in the income statement as well as disclosures about specific types of expenses included in the expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03, as clarified by ASU 2025-01, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Both early adoption and retrospective application are permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of these standards will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risks
Liquidity risk
We are also exposed to liquidity risk which is risk that we are unable to provide sufficient capital resources and liquidity to meet our commitments and business needs. Liquidity risk is controlled by the application of financial position analysis and monitoring procedures. When necessary, we will turn to other financial institutions and our shareholders to obtain short-term funding to meet the liquidity shortage.
Inflation risk
Inflationary factors, such as increases in personnel and overhead costs, could impair our operating results. Although we do not believe that inflation has had a material impact on our financial position or results of operations to date, a high rate of inflation in the future may have an adverse effect on our ability to maintain current levels of gross margin and operating expenses as a percentage of sales revenue if the revenues do not increase with such increased costs.
Interest rate risk
We are exposed to interest rate risk while we have bank loans. Although interest rates for our loans are about fixed for the terms of the loans, the interest rates are subject to change upon renewal.
Foreign currency translation and transaction
Two of our operating entities’ functional currency are SGD. As a result, we are exposed to foreign exchange risk as our results of operations may be affected by fluctuations in the exchange rate among SGD and USD. If the SGD depreciates against the USD, the value of our SGD revenues, earnings, and assets as expressed in our USD financial statements will decline. We have not entered into any hedging transactions in an effort to reduce our exposure to foreign exchange risk. Currently, these risks are not material to our financial condition or results of operations. As we expand internationally, our exposure to foreign currency translation and transaction risks may become more significant.

Management Commentary
Soon Huat Lim, Trident’s Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, commented: “The first half of 2026 was about building. The second half is about delivering. Through TDTH Africa, our Ghana joint venture is onboarding micro, small and medium-sized enterprises onto Sikaflow and supporting the Ghana Revenue Authority’s digital tax program. Through our AI & Intelligent Systems Group, we are taking TDTHAI to market and building our IRMA Engine Asia joint venture across Asia-Pacific, the Middle East and Africa. Through our Cybersecurity Group, we are bringing Memcyco’s real-time fraud protection to banks across Asia-Pacific. And through our Tridentity Infrastructure Group, we are advancing opportunities to expand digital identity across Africa. The approximately US$23 million of new equity we raised in September, gives us the balance sheet to execute. Our commitment to shareholders is simple: clear milestones, delivered and reported publicly.”
